Jupiter Ascending and Cloud Atlas are both great examples of my general rule that I'll take an interesting but imperfect movie over an uninteresting but well made movie any day. As long as you're exploring some new ground, I'll get something out of it.

This is all true personal best practices, but that doesn't mean it's bad to ask for better retention policies from the services you use. What you're talking about is true privacy and security; the critiques OP outlines are about reducing exposure when you are public. Will that reduction be verifiably perfect? No. But it's still better than nothing, especially in cases where you're just trying to protect from a specific threat, like someone you know irl seeing something that you regret posting.
First two directors I used to be into but no longer:
I loved Tarantino's work but I feel that I've "outgrown" it. I'm just not that interested in ultraviolence anymore.
Similarly, big fan of Wes Anderson, especially Moonrise Kingdom, but the incredible whiteness (both in cast and settings) of the majority of his movies has me longing for something more diverse (again, in both literal casting and in thematic backgrounds).
And now, who I'm still excited for:
DANIELS - I really enjoyed Swiss Army Man, tho it was flawed. I was hyped for Everything Everywhere and it delivered and then some. Can't wait to see what they do next if that was just their second one.
Makoto Shinkai - All of his work is so achingly beautiful. Love it.
Jordan Peele - Loved Get Out of course. Us was interesting but didn't stick as much. Even NOPE was flawed but still very unique and intriguing. I want to see what else he has.
Ari Aster - Hereditary was good, and Midsommar was amazing. I heard very little at all about Beau is Afraid (which is almost worse than hearing bad things), and I haven't seen it yet. Still intrigued to see what's next.
